When is SBRT appropriate for patients with

T1-2, N0 NSCLC who are medically operable?

Statement

Consensus

Any patient should be evaluated by a thoracic surgeon, preferably

in a multidisciplinary setting.

100%

For patients with “standard operative risk” (ie, with anticipated

operative mortality of <1.5%) and stage I NSCLC, SBRT is not

recommended as an alternative to surgery outside of a clinical trial.

Discussions about SBRT are appropriate, with the disclosure that

long-term outcomes with SBRT N3 years are not well established.

94%

For patients with “high operative risk” (ie, those who cannot tolerate

lobectomy, but are candidates for sublobar resection) stage I

NSCLC, discussions about SBRT as a potential alternative to

surgery are encouraged.
